Men At Work — Overkill

Y’know, the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets should cover this:

I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps its just an imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat
Shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It’s time to walk the streets
Smell what desperation

At least there’s pretty lights
And though there’s little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat
Shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know will be alright
It’s just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat
Shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

  1. It’s true.

    Another song they need to cover: I Will Survive. “And so you’re back, from outer space…”
    I think we need a Thickets all-cover album. Take songs and perform them with Lovecraftian overtones.
